 Wow...dug this out of the archives. I didn't realize I had shot this so long ago. I still don't know the name of the building though. (7th Ave and 6th street downtown Calgary I think)

I entered a print version of this image to my local photo clubs monochrome print competition. It managed to get third.

Hey, I know that building! I've shot it some, too, here in Orlando.
edit: never mind, but it does have some similar stylistic features to an Orlando building.

the dramatic sky really boosts this like how the clouds reflect in the upper windows as well .....nice work

I like the flatness of the color in this image. It has an interesting way of working with this architecture.
